Love teaches me not to love
Aiub. Ioug. Ayub. Ainou. Aiou.
I had the same difficulty pronouncing his Arabic name as I did
understanding that our love could not exist in an impossible world.
That name came, somehow, to destroy my West.
At first, this project was meant to save a man who was in a vulnerable
situation—and for that man to save me from loneliness.
I traveled to Tangier (Morocco) to find him, marry him, give him my
euro-Latin papers, and create a new piece out of it.
But then Ayoub appeared, and the project collapsed.
His name (“the returned one” or “the repentant one”) is very common
in Islamic countries: 115 children bearing that name were killed by the
Zionist state of Israel in the Gaza Strip.
For those dead, I give your name to this piece that speaks of you, of
colonialism, of Palestine.
And of everything I want to kill inside myself.
